I'd say a Perk at most. The glow of the Calaquendi looks more like a poetic device to show their "exalted" nature than like a literal light ability with precise effects. Maybe they get 1-point benefits comparable to Shtick or Honest Face (I recall that humans instinctively trusted friendly Calaquendi because they were attracted to the light), but nothing more.

Maybe the glow terrorizes evil creatures (especially orcs) as well; that would be likely Terror (only against servants of the Dark Lord). Or maybe the True Faith (Turning) in your templates apply only to those that have the Light of Aman in their eyes . . .

Hope this helps,
